From early reports, if the seated driver had been in control, this wouldn't have gone any differently as the pedestrian was not in a crosswalk and possibly in a limited line of sight area.

Agreed, 3 mph is very minor. I'll even suppose this is within error of the system. However, i'm making a larger point in regards to the apparent legal risk, if not ethical concerns, of pre-programming law breaking.
The "Failing NY Times" has some good coverage of the scene. To this layman thousands of miles away; it looks like the pedestrian was pretty out in the open and didn't appear to "pop out" into the roadway suddenly.
